Holidays to Phuket

When you think of holidays in Phuket you wouldn't be wrong to envision stunning beaches, sparkling blue ocean and picturesque natural beauty. But it's the unexpected treasures that will surprise and delight you.

It's all about contrasts on holidays in Phuket - from the charm of the old towns cobbled streets to the flamboyance of Patong's pulsating nightlife and the cooling drop pools of Kathu Waterfall. You'll be astounded by the wide range of things to do. Book an experience and visit majestic Phang Nga Bay, the stilted fishing village of Koh Panyee and the Phi Phi Islands.
